Rainbow Stories 7: Rangoli Man

And then there are some people who simply does nothing in life but makes people happy!

Lob Kr. Sah is one of them. Six years ago, this I-keep-smiling-cause-I-have-no-worries-in-life gentleman relocated to Guwahati from Bongaigaon in search of a better life. He now works in the pharmacy at the B Barooah Cancer Hospital to makes ends meet. While still on duty, he is a man in demand around the hospital because of his creative inclinations.

I caught him at the hospital, happy as happy can be, creating Rangolis all over the facility on the occasion of International Day of Yoga. He had a huge crowd of inquisitive people around him as they stared in awe while he went about his work with colours.

A self-taught man, Lob is shy and hardly spoke about himself. But when I pestered him, he hesitantly but proudly took out a half-done embroidery on a poly-cement bag. Way to go Lob! I hope you reach new heights in your creativity!
